Practice 2 - Instruction:

With "Dogs and People" fresh in your mind, let's review the text with a focus on facts and opinions.


Dogs and People


Question:

Which sentence from the selection is not a fact?


 
Answers
A.

The many breeds of dogs show that selective breeding can be used to make great changes in their inherited physical characteristics.

B.

Our oldest clue about the domestication of dogs is the discovery of wolf bones buried together with human bones in a cave that people lived in about 14,000 years ago.

C.

It is generally observed with many wild animals that they can be tame when young but become wild again when they grow up.

D.

The first step in domestication could have happened without any planning at all. . . . It's easy to imagine a child bringing home a lost cub: "Mom, may I keep it?"

Let's try another practice question.
